Salter Path, NC Beaches

[Curious The George]

Thinking about a mini vacation at Salter Path, NC on the Outer Banks.

Are the beaches in that area fair game for metal detecting?

Of course! BUT. You Always must check first. Some beaches have restrictions as to where you can or cannot detect. The good stuff lies not on the beach but above the beach. Plus the dilemma they fill sand in yearly. Most of the places I detect are on Folly beach NC. Most of those homes ABOVE the beach are rentals and run by realtors. Ask them. If they let you, detect these spots... Past Hurricanes have tossed the good stuff above the beaches

Mite b a little late for ya but salter path nc is interesting beach to hunt. I went there this summer and hunted not much to brag about this time, but I have found 20mm shells some silver rings and coins in the past.
The area use to b a site for the WWII to practice fire I've been told (yet to be comfrimed). One thing that is not good is that the beach has been resanded over and over again . If you hear a huge sound ............story has it a VW bettle which was buried out there (don't know why or when). Also watch out for buried Tires. They washed a shore during a storm few years back ( so much for Tire reefs off-shore). There is never a time not to take your detector to the beach!!! Have a good time!!! gottit

Hey Mac,

I live a few minutes from Salter Path. The beach is totally fair game. I actually hit a portion of the beach near one of their public access areas a week ago. Scored a bunch of clad and not much else (but im a total newb). Let me know when you come down....I'd be happy to join you on a hunt if you like. Either way best of luck and hope you enjoy your stay

pitbullfan,
I am one also, see photo attached.

We canceled the visit to Salter Path because the weather went South on us that weekend, it rained pretty much non-stop. We may try again in October, if we do, I'll get in touch through a private message here.

Thanks for the info and the offer!
